SIA plane catches fire upon emergency landing at Changi

It has 241 passengers and crew onboard.

A Singapore Airlines plane caught fire at Changi Airport's runway at 6:50 AM on Monday, June 27.

Flight SQ368 was headed to Milan and originally took off at 2:05 AM. It was forced to turn back to Singapore after pilots received an engine oil warning message.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's right engine caught fire. It was put out by airport emergency services and no injuries were reported among the 222 passengers and 19 crew onboard, SIA said.

The passengers will be transferred to another aircraft which is expected to depart for Milan later today. The airline is working with authorities, SIA said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
